Awakening -CaptainSparklez

Chapter 10: Rescue Mission Gone Wrong

Jordan's P.O.V

So, you'd think I'd drop the phone to the floor or pass out or something that just proved that I was really surprised. I was, of course, but I wouldn't admit it to Valerie. She'd use it against me. Being the smart guy I am *sarcasm*, I said the best thing to say.

"I know."

Valerie's expression nearly made me laugh. She looked so confused and lost for words, as if what I replied with just ruined her whole plan. I still think to this day that what I said was stupid, but who cares? It worked. She thought I already knew that Lyra was a clone, and that would make her need to think of some embarrassed reply. During that spare time, I could try to tell Lyra something.

Lyra, who must've been thinking the same thing, kicked Valerie's phone so that I could see her face instead of Valerie's. I took in Lyra's facial expression for a bit and saw how brave she was being in such a bad situation.

Lyra whispered, "Don't try to get me, I don't want you getting hurt."

I shook my head. "I won't get hurt. You will if I don't come."

Lyra's violet eyes narrowed as I said that, and they turned a dark purple as Valerie took the phone back.

"Well here's something you didn't know," she said with a glare at Lyra. "Both of you."

Lyra bit her lip. I knew that Valerie was right, neither of us really knew much about how Lyra was a clone, but it seemed bad. And we were right.

"She's my clone."

The next few seconds went by almost in slow motion. Lyra managed to get out of her chains. As soon as she was free, she jumped on Valerie and tried to strangle her like a maniac. All I heard was screaming. There was blood on Lyra's face after Valerie landed a blow on her eye.

Valerie ended the fight by kicking Lyra in the chest, causing her to collapse. Lyra's breathing came out in shallow breaths. She was holding her eye instead of her chest, and blood pooled on the ground around her. It was a sickening sight.

I hung up the phone and grabbed my car keys. Lyra couldn't endure this torture, and she would die if this happened again. I wouldn't let that happen.

I pulled open the door of my repaired Ferrari (#Ferfari SkyDoesMinecraft reference), and started driving. I knew exactly where Valerie would go to hide. The place where it all began: the warehouse. Where she attempted her first murder...on me.

Lyra's P.O.V

"Stop it!" I screamed as Valerie kept kicking me. My head was pounding and I couldn't move, and I think that she gave me a severe black eye. I also felt like I was going to puke because of where she kicked me.

"Then stop trying to even touch me. The next time you do, I'll get a knife and put it through your neck," Valerie threatened with a glare. I glared back.

Valerie dragged me by the hair back to the tiny cell and pushed me in. I curled up on the cold ground as she locked the door. I hated locks so much. I was locked up for eighteen years and I was back in a locked room...wait, eighteen years?

I counted the days since I met Jordan. Twelve. When we met, I'd checked the calendar before jumping and saw it was twelve days before my birthday. That meant that it was my eighteenth birthday, and I was being held captive on my Awakening.

A cube hit me in the head. I looked next to me and saw a Rubik's Cube. A note said, "happy birthday, to both of us. Mostly me. -Valerie." I guess that she was cloned on her birthday. I'd seen the Rubik's Cube puzzle before, and the one she gave me looked pretty screwed up.
